Management of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Slovak Republic

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our entire business life. This was particularly noticeable in the business sector and especially small and medium-sized enterprises. We watched daily what problems this important part of the national economy was going through. For many businesses, the two years of the COVID-19 pandemic have been devastating. On the contrary, new enterprises were created that began to deal with a different subject of activity. The choice of the topic of the chapter is topical because it maps the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the chapter is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business sector in the Slovak Republic. The scientific research methods used were analysis and synthesis, deduction and a questionnaire survey that showed the problems of small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovakia. The results of the chapter represent proposals for the renewal and revitalization of small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovakia.
